.SH NAME
idsconfig \- prepare an iPlanet Directory Server (iDS) to be populated with
data and serve LDAP clients
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fB /usr/lib/ldap/idsconfig\fR [\fB-v\fR] [\fB-i\fR \fIinput_configfile\fR]
     [\fB-o\fR \fIoutput_configfile\fR]
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
Use the \fBidsconfig\fR tool to set up an iPlanet Directory Server (iDS). You
can specify the input configuration file with the \fB-i\fR option on the
command line. Alternatively, the tool will prompt the user for configuration
information. The input configuration file is created by \fBidsconfig\fR with
the \fB-o\fR option on a previous run.
.sp
.LP
The first time a server is set up, the user is prompted for all the required
information.  Future installations on that machine can use the configuration
file previously generated by \fBidsconfig\fR using the \fB-o\fR option.
.sp
.LP
The output configuration file contains the directory administrator's password
in clear text. Thus, if you are creating an output configuration file, take
appropriate security precautions.
.sp
.LP
You should back up the directory server's configuration and data prior to
running this command.
.SH OPTIONS
.LP
The following options are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-i\fR \fIinput_configfile\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 24n
Specify the file name for \fBidsconfig\fR to use as a configuration file.  This
file will be read by \fBidsconfig\fR, and the values in the file will be used
to configure the server.  Do not manually edit \fIinput_configfile\fR. The
\fIinput_configfile\fR is only partially validated, as \fBidsconfig\fR assumes
that the file was created by a previous invocation of the command.
